Community Service Hours for School and Other Community Projects
The Food Bank welcomes volunteers seeking community service hours for school or other educational projects. Please read the below instructions.
- In order to sign up for a shift, all volunteers are required to create a Volunteer Portal account. Once you have registered you may sign up for available shifts found on our volunteer calendar.
- Students age 11-15 are required to volunteer with an adult who is registered via our Volunteer Portal. Accompanying adults must register for a shift and add a child 11-15 as their team member.

Court-Ordered Community Service
If you are required to serve hours in conjunction with a court order, please read our instructions for court-ordered community service.
The Food Bank has a limited number of volunteer opportunities for those seeking to fill court-ordered community service. We only accept those wishing to serve court-ordered community service hours for non-violent offenses. Court-ordered community service volunteers are approved on a case-by-case basis as openings permit. In order to request volunteer hours for your court-ordered community service, you are required to read our policy and submit an online request form.
